Config nginx file for fastcgi cache & Woocommerce;

WordPress Nginx
#1

Hi guys,

It’s my second time experiencing your tutorial in order to build the wordpress site. Rtcamp is awesome and your guide is very detailed & useful. Follow your last guide, this second time I use easy engine to fasten the process. I run these 3 simple commands:
curl -sL rt.cx/ee | sudo bash
ee system install
ee site create example.com –wpfc
Everything works great till today when I met the issue with woocommerce “add to cart” like the first time. I follow your guide again here
But discover that the config file (/etc/nginx/sites-available/site-example.com) looks different than before:

WPSINGLE FAST CGI NGINX CONFIGURATION

server {
server_name escodrugs.com www.escodrugs.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/escodrugs.com.access.log rt_cache;
error_log /var/log/nginx/escodrugs.com.error.log;
root /var/www/escodrugs.com/htdocs;
index index.php index.htm index.html;
include common/wpfc.conf;
include common/wpcommon.conf;
include common/locations.conf;
}
It looks very simple like the one of the first website I built before. I tried the Nginx Config here . But always get error.
Can you guys please send me a correct config? I have very little knowledge of Nginx or server, so really need your help.

Many thanks

modify your sites nginx config like this

ee site edit example.com

  
# WPSINGLE FAST CGI NGINX CONFIGURATION  
server {  
server_name escodrugs.com www.escodrugs.com;  
access_log /var/log/nginx/escodrugs.com.access.log rt_cache;  
error_log /var/log/nginx/escodrugs.com.error.log;  
root /var/www/escodrugs.com/htdocs;  
index index.php index.htm index.html;  

include common/wpfc.conf;  

if ( $cookie_woocommerce_items_in_cart = "1" ){  
	set $skip_cache 1;  
}  
if ($args != "") {  
      set $skip_cache 1;  
}  
if ($request_uri ~* "(/translate.*|/store.*|/cart.*|/my-account.*|/checkout.*|/addons.*)") {  
		set $skip_cache 1;  
}  

include common/wpcommon.conf;  
include common/locations.conf;  
}

Hi Harshad,

I changed the file like you told. But the cart still keep empty if I add product (ajax add to cart) and go check in the cart page.

I tried deactive nginx helper and W3 total cache in turn, and discover that if I don’t use W3 total cache, the problem is solved. Follow your guide, I only use database and object cache (memcache). So, Is it good if i turn the W3 Total cache off?

I have modified above nginx config slightly, make changes in your nginx config accordingle and do following settings in W3 Total cache plugin. screenshots attached for ref.

Hi Harshad,
Thank you! The cart works correctly now.

But I just found out another issue. When I visit my website via http://escodrugs.com, the site works well, but via: www.escodrugs.com the browser return the “Welcome Nginx” page.

What should I do?

I think the first lines code you sent me should be:

# WPSINGLE FAST CGI NGINX CONFIGURATION  
server {  
server_name escodrugs.com www.escodrugs.com;  
...

And below is my site’s gtmetrix report. The result is great. But do you have any more suggestion for me to improve it?

Many thanks,

@minhhuy2212,
Glad to know your cart issue solved, and about “Welcome to Nginx” page issue, i think you have resolved that too, great :).
Performance will improve if you use CDN and Minify.
Let me Know if you have any other issue.
